Connects Claude to U.S. Census Bureau housing data through a streamable HTTP gateway. Part of the Pipeworx platform, which bundles 673+ data sources behind a single MCP interface. The server exposes Census housing APIs, though specific tools aren't documented in the source. You can either call tools directly once connected or use the ask_pipeworx helper to query in plain English and let the gateway route to the right endpoint. Useful when you need demographic or housing statistics in your workflows without managing Census API keys or parsing their response formats yourself. MIT licensed and hosted, so no local setup required.
Census MCP — U.S. Census Bureau housing-relevant APIs.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"census": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/census/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Census data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
